Brad,

I've gotten a few "special" sets, 1775 and 2149 in particular, that are
densely packed in order to take up as little storage space as possible.  It
would be nice if TLC would start to package ALL of their sets this way.

Almost all of the 1999 sells are simply apalling in the wasted
paper/cardboard in their packaging.  I'm not a diehard environmental nut or
anything, but I think it's ridiculous when I buy multiples of a 1999 set,
and can fit 2-4 sets in ONE box without seriously cramming them in there.

While I would guess that they are being packaged in larger boxes in order
to sell better (Bigger is Better), I think that the new boxes are wasteful
of resources, and they simply take up too much room when storing them.

Please relay to the Packaging people that many of us would appreciate
denser packaging.

Let me add my voice to this chorus. Small is beautiful -- particularly when it comes to cardboard boxes. Consider too, that smaller boxes would allow a toy store to stock more LEGO sets, providing more retail throughput in the same amount of space. (...) (25 years ago, 16-Jan-00, to lugnet.dear-lego)
